Claude Certified Architect Readiness Bootcamp Full Day

Prepare for Claude architecture certification-style expectations while learning how to design, govern, secure, evaluate, and operate production-ready Claude-powered systems.

Claude certification readiness is not about memorizing features. It is about proving architectural judgment when Claude can access context, write code, call tools, automate workflows, and influence production systems.

Participants will learn how to:

  1. Map the Claude architecture landscape across Claude Code, Claude API, Agent SDK, MCP, GitHub Actions, RAG, evals, and production governance.
  2. Use Claude Code safely with project guidance, CLAUDE.md, plan-first workflows, PR review, and CI/CD gates.
  3. Design MCP tools with risk classification, scoped permissions, approval gates, and audit trails.
  4. Architect Claude-powered RAG systems with evidence, source freshness, and grounded responses.
  5. Design agentic Claude workflows with step limits, tool budgets, escalation, and human approval.
  6. Apply security controls for prompt injection, data leakage, secrets, tool misuse, and unsafe generated code.
  7. Define evals for correctness, groundedness, retrieval relevance, tool safety, latency, and cost.
  8. Build observability traces for prompts, retrieved sources, tool calls, model outputs, decisions, and cost.
  9. Answer certification-style architecture scenarios.
  10. Defend whether a Claude-powered system is production-ready.
